For animal lovers who want to raise their beloved little ones, whether they are dogs or cats, in their residence, especially in condominiums where they have to live with many neighbors in many rooms, more closely than in single houses or townhouses, which makes raising animals more likely to disturb neighbors. In addition, condominiums are considered closed spaces, with all rooms sharing the same building.
Therefore, smells or noises from raising animals can affect neighboring rooms and may cause problems later on because our beloved pets may not be cute to everyone. Let’s take a look at some small recommendations for anyone thinking of raising pets in a condominium, on how to prepare or what you should know.
- Choose a condo that allows pets.
This is the most important point because we should never secretly raise pets if the condo does not allow it. Because the owner himself will not be happy. Having to constantly worry that he will be caught. In addition, he may have to confine the pet, which can cause stress to the pet. It can be said that both the owner and the pet are not happy.
What happens if you violate or secretly keep animals?
Some condominiums do not allow pets. If it is a project that is managed by a juristic person, you will be warned by the juristic person or fined according to the rules and regulations of each project.
If there is damage to common property or common areas, the juristic person can also file a lawsuit for damages.
In addition to being fined civilly, keeping animals without permission also has the possibility of being prosecuted criminally. If your dog or cat bites someone else, you can be reported to the police under Section 377 and Section 390 of the Criminal Code.
Section 377 Whoever controls a ferocious or dangerous animal and neglects to let that animal be alone in a manner that may cause harm to a person or property shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding 1 month, a fine not exceeding 10,000 baht, or both.
Section 390 Acting negligently and such action causes harm to another person physically or mentally shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding 1 month, a fine not exceeding 10,000 baht, or both.
Follow the balcony rules of each project.
Currently, many condominium projects allow pets, but they must comply with the regulations, such as:
– Must request permission from the building management or juristic person
– Must register the history of pets
– Do not keep poisonous animals or reptiles
– Do not keep more than the specified number, for example, an area less than 50 square meters can keep only 1 pet
– Pets must be tied on a leash and must be supervised at all times in the common area
2. Buy a deodorizer and keep it in your room at all times. Spray it on areas where pets defecate, whether it’s dog newspaper or cat sandpaper, to prevent the smell from leaking into the next room.
3. You shouldn’t keep a large dog.
Since large dogs need a lot of space, most condominiums tend to have quite a small area, and some have a size limit for pets that can be kept in the condominium.
Of course, large dogs are not included. Even if the project allows it, imagine taking your dog out for a walk. You have to walk through other people’s rooms and common areas. Your dog may bark or annoy others easily.
4. Clean up your pet’s waste every day. Most of the major problems we see often come from the small or sometimes not-so-small lumps that our pets excrete. In addition to making the area dirty, their feces are also full of germs and parasites. Therefore, the most important duty of the owner is to clean up their waste neatly.
There are many ways to do this, such as flushing it down the toilet or, if you are going to throw it in the trash, wrap it tightly in newspaper before putting it in a bag. And it should be cleaned up every day because pet waste when left to ferment for a long time, can cause germs and bad smells.
5. Attach the grating to the balcony tightly. You should attach the grating to the balcony tightly to prevent your beloved pets, whether they are dogs or cats, who are at a mischievous age and like to climb, from falling. In addition to being dangerous to your pets, it may also be dangerous to others.
In conclusion, raising pets in a condominium, whether dogs or cats, is important. The main thing is to be considerate of neighboring residents because everyone lives in the same building. Disturbance can occur more than in other types of residences. Both the smell and noise of pets can easily be transmitted to each other. Therefore, there should be responsibility, both in terms of consciousness towards others and care for the pets you are raising.
